In today's evolving workplace, company policies play a critical role in ensuring an inclusive and supportive environment for all employees, including those who need it the most: the LGBTQ+ community. "I think policies are essential anti-discrimination safeguards and act as necessary checks on the organizational environment. They also go to great lengths in making LGBTQ+ employees feel safe within the organizational climate." — Aritra Chatterjee, clinical psychologist and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community Here are some companies that have created policies that should be replicated to create a more inclusive office for LGBTQ+ individuals.

I collaborated with Qrata to highlight the role of workplace policies to promote psychological safety in the work environment for LGBTQ+ employees. Pride is political, Pride is about policies and reforms. #humanresources #dei #pride #organizationalsafety #inclusivity #workplaceequality #workplaceculture #equality

Pridemonth is a monumental time of the year. It is a time to remember the remarkable equal rights journey the LGBTQ+ community has fought for decades. And it is a month where I personally take some time to reflect on how far we’ve come as a country. Pride Month also serves as a reminder of the importance of respect and inclusivity in all aspects of our lives. For Corporations world-wide , it’s also a reminder that we need to hit the accelerator on making workplaces welcoming for all, year-round. #StaffWorQs, we firmly believe that businesses play a pivotal role in driving positive societal change and we will be a catalyst to drive such a change as we continue to create diverse and inclusive workplaces and foster innovation. generating tangible benefits for individuals #PrideMonth #PrideCelebration
